Given a convex set $C$ in a real vector space $E$ and two points $x,y\in C$, we investivate which are the possible values for the variation $f(y)-f(x)$, where $f:C\longrightarrow [m,M]$ is a bounded convex function. We then rewrite the bounds in terms of the Funk weak metric, which will imply that a bounded convex function is Lipschitz-continuous with respect to the Thompson and Hilbert metrics. The bounds are also proved to be optimal. We also exhibit the maximal subdifferential of a bounded convex function at a given point $x\in C$.
